Title
Body
I’m playing around with the Stack Overflow API using Python. I’m trying to decode the gzipped responses that the API gives. import urllib, gzip url = urllib.urlopen('http://api.stackoverflow.com/1.0/badges/name') gzip.GzipFile(fileobj=url).read() According to the urllib2 documentation , urlopen “returns a file-like object”. However, when I run read() on the GzipFile object I’ve created using it, I get this error: AttributeError: addinfourl instance has no attribute 'tell' As far as I can tell, this is coming from the object returned by urlopen . It doesn’t appear to have seek either, as I get an error when I do this: url.read() url.seek(0) What exactly is this object, and how do I create a functioning GzipFile instance from it?
